McEnery in the State Convention
Tensas, 10; Bossier, l2; Caddo, 10
DeSoto, 9.
Hon. II. G. Stringfellow is men
toned as a candidate for Lieutenan
Governor. The gentleman is demo
crat of the old school, and if elected
will make an excellent officer.
ON Wednesday December 14th
the white democratic voters of Caddo
parish arc to elect delegates to par.
ish convention, which shall choose
the representatives. of the parish in the
coming State convention.
Gov. McEnery has not been
blamed as yet for the granting of a
new trial to ex-Secretary of State w.
A. Strong or the burning of Barnum's
big show at Bridgeport, Conn.,, on the
2lst inst. To say the least the ere
formers are growing more and more
liberal every day.
III is officially announced that the
"Jimmies" of Shreveport, will take to
the stage after the election, and make
q tour of the entire State. The play
in which they are to appear is now be-
ing written by popular playwright.
Due notice of their appointments will
be given by the press.
THE New Orleans Chronicle gets
Oft the following: The McEnery man
listens to the growing of the Nichols
ties over the election of delegates in
the hill parishes, and smiles as he con-
templates the change of feeling that
will come over his neighbor when the
lowlands knock the little boom as
dead as o sailed mackerel.

ON next Monday, the 9Th of De-
cember, the fiftieth congress of the
United States will assemble. The
political division of the two houses
will be more close than it has been
tor some time. In the house of rep
resentatives the democrats will have a
small majority, and the senate after
the 4th Of March next, will probably
be tie.
--CoNGREssMAN N. G. Blanchard
left Shreveport for Washington on
Wednesday of last week, stopping to
see his relatives near Boyce, in this
Parish. HIS wife and two boys had
gone ahead of him about ten DAYS.
The residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Blan-
chard whilst in Washington will be
at No. 24O North Capitol Street. We
take this opportunity of asking our
congressman to use his efFo.ts in get
tieg our town public building.
-SoME one writing in the Vernon
Con enser over the nom de plnme of
Jim" urges the reelection of Hon.
f.. r. Smart to the State Senate. The
writer says to rc-nominate him will be
but carrying out the time honored
principles and usages of the demo- I
cratic party-to which we beg to diff ,
fer. Vernon parish ought be little
more modest this time. Once is 'enuf'
besides she's too small to be so greedy.
Stand aside for Rapides -! One of her /
rue and tried sons must go instead of $
he Hon. E. E. Smart. +
IN the recent outbreak or riot at O
thlbodaux six negroes we're killed I
md several wounded. In that por-
ion of Louisiana these disturbances d
re almost annually chronicled, and Il
ONE steps should be taken to forever tt
orbid their ever occurring again-or d
they aiil follow their leaders, who
re known to be unprincipled and un- " "
'rupulous men-why just Lave a Col e'
TX affair, aud wipe this miserable ele- u VI
ent out, and get new set. The re- "
lit will prove that the REPETITION of IT. IT.
